Project Scope

About: Californians for Pesticide Reform (CPR) is a statewide coalition of more than 190 organizations that was founded in 1996 to fundamentally shift the way pesticides are used in California.

Project: OSL worked with CPR to develop a new data tool to track and visualize pesticide use across the state of California at multiple spatial scales, including neighborhoods, school districts and counties. This project leverages publicly available pesticide use data to deliver a tracking tool that remains sustainable and stable online, and transparent to update and maintain by CPR and its coalition partners.
